Thanks, it sounds and plays every bit as nice as it looks. Skelf is the man when it comes to bass building. Do yourself a favour and try one the next time you are after a new bass. So much bass for your money.

Nice bass, I love those scratch plates.

Does this work? [URL=http://s377.photobucket.com/user/john_mcdonald6/media/IMG_4286_zpsiiwqrygj.jpg.html][IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo216/john_mcdonald6/IMG_4286_zpsiiwqrygj.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Thanks Skelf, more pics soon, busy with stuff out with the interwebs guys...sorry

Just back from a trip to Moffat to pick up a new bass. ACG recurve 5. What can I say, plays easy, sounds great and looks amazing. If you are in the market for a new bass give Alan's basses a try, they are up there with the best I have played. How do I share pics??

2 fours (p and j), 1 five (stingray) and one fretless (status electro 3)

Great, never heard of this guy before but I loved it. What a tone from that Roscoe too.

Hi I have lost one of the knobs on my MXR bass compressor, any ideas where I can get replacements?

I have fender n3 noiseless pickups and the active 3 band that goes with it. Pm me if you want me to send them.

Hopefully things will sort themselves out soon Bubinga, I have been in the situation where I had to choose between a second job and my only bass and it was tough times.

I have a status electro 3, it has a piezo and a mag pickup. I use a fishman platinum pro and it works wonders for the signal.

Loved those vids..such a unique tone to a fretless guitar. Wonder why it isn't more popular.

Hi I have a question for owners of Warwick alien basses. Can the five string bridge accommodate strings tuned e-c rather than b-g?

Well said Bob. Gig if you want to gig, noodle if you want to noodle, as long as you have fun.

I was in Chris's workshop today, saw the body. Wow great shape and what a colour. It's going to be a beaut when it's done.

I used dr hi beams since 1993 until 18 months ago, then switched to Dunlop super steels. Not sure which is better but I love the feel of super steels right now.

Having owned a stingray v and a 2 band stingray 4...as well as playing many..I can't recall having played a neck I didn't like.. The old smoothie looks great, love the story behind it too.

A 75 white rickenbacker 4001..shop was looking for £500 for it in 1999...first one I had ever played and it played amazing..left the shop went back a week later and it was gone.

Two of my favourites too...

Back on the original point, I walked into a music shop in around 1996 with £800 burning a hole in my pocket they had two second hand basses on the wall for £800...a wal custom and a musicman stingray V. I had lusted after a wal for years after listening to mick Karn, geddy Lee and a couple of local guys...walked out the shop with the musicman after spending around 40 mins playing the wal. Neck profile was just not good for me and it was heavy....sounded great but I couldn't get comfy playing it. Lesson learned.

I have to say that I think soundcloud should be made to buy a licence, but also I think that the PRS needs to change. There should be a ceiling on payments out, to allow smaller scale songwriters and composers to get paid,rather than the likes of Elton John or the current owners of the Beatles works to get what must be to them a relatively small payment.

Ace clip..what a voice.

Thats Rubbish...will keep my eyes open in East Lothian mate.

That's a lovely looking p..
